Key Observations:

• Baltimore was extremely effective in running the ball. Not only did they utilize the speed of quarterback Lamar Jackson using read option, but the offensive line executed run blocking very well. On their second drive of the second half, the Ravens had three straight runs of more than 10 yards, and a fourth (that resulted in a touchdown) called back for holding.

• The Browns dialed up the same play twice in this game that saw WR Jarvis Landry get behind the Baltimore cover 4 defense. The first pass was dropped, the second resulted in a touchdown. Credit to Cleveland for identifying this opportunity in their game planning.
